Answer:

5/32768

Step-by-step explanation:

This sequence does not have a common difference, but does have a common ratio of r = 10/40 = 1/4. The first term is a1 = 40.

The general term of a geometric sequence is ...

an = a1·r^(n-1)

Then the 10th term is ...

a10 = 40·(1/4)^(10 -1) = 40/4^9 = 5/32768

What is the factored form of this expression? 27m^3 +125n^3

ddd [48]

Answer:

$\left(3m+5n\right)\left(9m^2-15mn+25n^2\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$27m^3+125n^3=\left(3m\right)^3+\left(5n\right)^3$

Apply sum of cubes formula: $x^3+y^3=\left(x+y\right)\left(x^2-xy+y^2\right)$

$\left(3m\right)^3+\left(5n\right)^3=\left(3m+5n\right)\left(3^2m^2-3m\times 5n+5^2n^2\right)$

$\left(3m+5n\right)\left(9m^2-15mn+25n^2\right)$

How do I get 1/4 of $3.20

leva [86]

" of " means multiply

1/4 * 3.20/1...and just multiply....(1 * 3.20) / (4 * 1) = 3.20/4 = 0.8
or
1/4 = 0.25.....0.25(3.20) = 0.8

-x + 2y = 3 2x – 3y = -6

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

x = -3

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations :- 

-x + 2y = 3 ....... ( i )

2x - 3y = -6 ....... ( ii )

From ( i ) 

-x + 2y = 3

-x = 3 - 2y

x = 2y - 3 ........ ( iii )

From ( ii ) 

2x - 3y = -6

2x = -6 + 3y

$x = \frac{ - 6 + 3y}{2}$

........ ( iv )

Equating ( iii ) and ( iv )

x = x

$2y - 3 = \frac{ - 6 + 3y}{2}$

4y - 6 = -6 + 3y

4y - 3y = -6 + 6

y = 0

Putting value of y in ( iii )

x = 2y - 3

x = 2 ( 0 ) - 3

x = -3
